AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a new hyperpolarized molecule that can be used as a metabolic marker for imaging tumors using MRI. This molecule has a unique structure that minimizes signal decay and allows for more pronounced metabolite signals. Additionally, the text explains how comparing signals over time can provide information about tumor development and treatment efficacy. The invention provides an advantage in making available an imaging medium that can selectively diagnose tumors with a high degree of accuracy. The text also mentions the possibility of monitoring treatment progress by taking multiple registrations of the molecule's signals during treatment.

Problems solved by technology

A common weakness of the endogenous molecules known in the prior art, when used as hyperpolarized markers, is the relatively fast vanishing of MR signals, of both the substrate itself and its relevant metabolites.

example 1

of 1-13C-1,1-Bis(acetoxy(methyl-d2))-2,2′-d4-cyclopropane

[0117]284 mg, 2.55 mmol of 1-13C-1,1-Bis(hydroxy(methyl-d2))-2,2′-d4-cyclopropane, (prepared as described by House, H. O. et al. “The synthesis of spiropentane-d8”. J. Org. Chem. 1956, 21, 1487-149) were put in a glass flask and cooled to 0° C. on an ice bath. Acetyl chloride (3 ml, 34 mmol) was added slowly while stirring. After complete addition the mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for additionally 12 h. The excess acetyl chloride and the formed hydrochloric gas were then removed in vacuum. The compound of formula (II) 1-13C-1,1-Bis(acetoxy(methyl-d2))-2,2′-d4-cyclopropane was recovered as a colorless oil; yield: 445 mg (2.27 mmol, 90%).

[0118]Spectral data are consistent with the expected structure, as illustrated below:

[0121]A) Finland radical, carboxylic acid form (0.7 mg, 0.67 μmol) was dissolved in 1-13C-1,1-Bis(acetoxy(methyl-d2))-2,2′-d4-cyclopropane (45 μl, 50.7 mg, 0.27 mmol). To the solution was added a DMSO solution of the gadolinium complex ([alfa1,alfa4,alfa7-tris[(phenylmethoxy)methyl]-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetato(4-)]gadolinate(1-)]hydrogen) (0.75 mg of a 100 μmol / g solution). The concentration of radical and gadolinium were 15 mM and 1.6 mM respectively.

[0122]B) 30 μmol of a 1-13C-1,1-Bis(acetoxy(methyl-d2))-2,2′-d4-cyclopropane sample made following the description in example 2.A was hyperpolarized. The composition was hyperpolarised under DNP conditions at 1.2 K in a 3.35 T magnetic field under irradiation with microwave (93.900 GHz). The polarization build-up constant was 750 s. The solid-state polarization was approx. 15%.

[0124]Materials and Methods

[0125]The experiments were performed with a co-polarization of 1-13C-1,1-Bis(acetoxy(methyl-d2))-2,2′-d4-cyclopropane and 1-13C-pyruvic acid in equal amounts of compounds (30 μmol) resulting in a concentration of approx. 3.5 mM of each substrate in the experiments. The DNP preparation of 1-13C-1,1-Bis(acetoxy(methyl-d2))-2,2′-d4-cyclopropane was performed as described in example 2 and the DNP preparation of 1-13C-pyruvate was performed as described in WO 2006 / 011809. The two substrates were co-polarized without mixing the substrates.

[0126]Rat liver cancer cells (Morris777) were grown in RPMI+10% FBS and antibiotics. Following trypsin harvesting 10 million cells were redissolved in 500 μl phosphate buffer (PBS) and transferred to a 10 mm NMR tube and placed with connecting tubing in a 14.1 T magnet at 37 C....

Abstract

1-13C-1,1-Bis(acetoxy(methyl))-2,2′-cyclopropane of formula (I):The compound can be hyperpolarized and used as a contrast agent in 13C Magnetic Resonance diagnostic technique (13C-MR) for the diagnosis of tumor.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to the field of Magnetic Resonance (MR), in particular to novel diagnostic media comprising hyperpolarized 1-13C-1,1-Bis(acetoxy(methyl))-2,2′-cyclopropane and to a diagnostic method exploiting said molecule as MR tracer.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that has become particularly attractive to physicians as images of a patient's body or parts thereof can be obtained in a non-invasive way and without exposing the patient and the medical personnel to a potentially harmful radiation such as X-rays. Because of its high quality images and good spatial and temporal resolution. MRI is a favourable imaging technique for imaging soft tissue and organs. MRI may be carried out with or without MR contrast agents. However, contrast-enhanced MRI usually enables the detection of much smaller tissue changes, which makes it a powerful tool for the detection of early stage tissue changes like for insta...
